- Abstract
-
The modern competitive world expects communicative skills and high English
language proficiency as an essential element in the skills required to be a qualified competitor
professional. English language learning has therefore become a necessity for every Indian
student today. Language learning is not the same as learning any other subject. Elitism in
computer technology has made a necessary tool for learning and developing the skills of oral
and written interactions, commonly referred to as Communication lab (Computer Assisted
Language Learning). Many private and public universities and Other Technical University have
made use of communication lab mandatory for students. Communication lab is an elevating tool
in learning English language skills through technology in the present generation. The best part
is that it is learner centric rather than teacher centric. This new way of language learning is fast
gaining acceptance globally. It is a boon for non-native learners for whom English is a second
language. And the results are quite encouraging. - Downloads
